negative group the husband blood group is tested, then if the child inside
is RH+ve then after birth, the mother should be given ‘ANTI-D injection’ or
else the 2nd baby can be affected.

BLOOD SUGAR (very important):

10% of our pregnant women have diabetes in pregnancy

DIPSI – TEST
(75gm glucose challenge test) is the most accurate test that has been to
diagnose diabetes in pregnancy and many complications associated with it
from abortions to unexplained death of the baby.

Urine routine and urine culture à to ruled out any urinary tract
infections, urine sugar is not accurate. Urine C/s is used to find if there
is any infection.If present it will be treated with appropriate antibiotics.

Dr. Krithika is very kind hearted and very frank, treatment was excellent. Doctor took at most care and behaved in the same manner right from the first month till the date of delivery(still continues). She treated me as a friend rather than a patient. Over all it is very good hospital and she is excellent Dr. Also thanks to Dr. Chandrika for a guidance during the time of delivery.

Took my wife to cm hospital nanganallur based on word of mouth recommendations which were largely very positive and the other factor being proximity to our residence. Dr.krithika is a professional and puts the patients at ease during the first consultation itself. She is very cordial and offers professional and personal advice to the patients. The doctor is very forthcoming and communicates well with the patients and families.
